PS:-
Day 1:- July 7 We left from home in morning around 6.45 am. My baby was not happy as we were leaving her dear baa behind for 10 days. She was keep saying I will miss u baa and and hoon valli aavish (I will come back soon). We reached New Jersey at mama’s place by afternoon 3.00pm. Our journey was not bad as me n Ananyaa slept for whole time. We were Pleased to see Mama, Mami n my brother in-low. It was long due to visit them and finally we meet. All were Happy n sounds happy too. Went for makeup shopping with my mami saas n Hemali @ Revlon ware house and we really did found some good stuff over there. Ananyaa was helping Bharat dada, and making him learn how to play game on iPad2. Mama was like happily learning and next day he was playing by his own, and kind of addicted to it.
Day 2:- Did nothing in morning as Rit’s and Shivang both were busy fixing their electronic gadgets and Ananyaa busy playing with iPad 2. She became fan of shivu kaka as he downloaded her diff games in iPad 2. In evening went for Garba for cousin wedding (Mihir & Sima). It was good to see all family members from my dad’s side. Meet most of them and it was good to see all of them together. Enjoyed being there at Garba but didn’t get chance to play as Ananyaa was really getting fussy, though we had fun. Came back from Garba and I just realize that I forgot Ananyaa’s fav pink purse which she was caring it, and there u go, Rit’s was so mad on me and keeping saying me, I not responsible person to do anything….yes anything as I forgot purse over there on Table. He was just keep going on for what not. Anyway I went back to Hall with my brother in low to check, but we didn’t found anything and came home with empty hand. Later when I called my Bhabhi she updated us that someone gave her Ananyaa’s Purse. So finally someone found it and I was Happy as it was her fav one and Gift from someone.
Later on we saw wedding movie from my brother-in-low Ronak’s wedding and that was so much fun. I was really waiting to watch it and oh my god, can’t believe everyone had enjoyed so much in wedding. And I was taking cold breath was not being part of that wedding, the one which I waited for long time. But was Happy to see all enjoying and having fun. We finished 2 CD’s. We talk about so many people and remember all of them that night. Will say each n every family member from Dada to Vraj, we missed all of them.
Day 3 july 9:- Morning and getting ready for Wedding and Rit’s started fighting with me for not having his belt for formal pant’s. Bharat mama tried hard to find one belt for him. Thank you so much for doing that. All day passed and we all were busy for greeting people and to newly wedded couple and for pic times as well. Wedding reception was in Evening and we all enjoyed lot in reception. I must say food for Lunch and in Dinner both were too good, very nice. So enjoyed that evening with People, Food, and Dance. Ananyaa was keeping everyone busy around playing hide n sick with her.
Day 4:- July, 10:- Left from Hotel to Bharatmama’s Home, after all guest who came for wedding left for Atlanta, GA, I was feeling sad to see them going. But surely it was so nice to see all of them. They had invited few friends and Family to meet up. Before that in afternoon went for shopping for Camera. Came back home buying something else and not the camera as I was confused which one to go for it. Again evening with good people, good food n Cold Drinks I was haapy to Dalu mama over there. He specially came to see us. So nice of him to do so…and too bad that we can’t make it to visit his Home….sorry…

I guess everyone enjoyed in wedding but we enjoyed while watching movie. it was so much fun. Everyone was looking so beautiful. Was happy to see everyone happy over during wedding time. Hope Ronak & Shree both are enjoying their married life together.

Kids had fun time in zoo n at Dolphin watch to. It was hot Sunny Day, but we all enjoyed.

Shivani & Ananyaa became friends liek their Mumma's. Ananyaa miss her when she use to paint at home.
Day 7 :- Left Atlantic city in morning and reached back to Edison NJ. We went to see few family over here and then for litt bit shopping too. In evening we left for Jersey City to visit Hemali’s Place. Her mom prepared Chole & Parotha and that was so yummy. After dinner we went for Hoboken city of NewYork. We went to some place name Exchange Place and it was amazing. We saw New York from other side and it was Beautiful. View of NewYork city in Night was amazing. It was very late when we reach back to Edison, but will say it was worth driving to visit that place.
Day 8 & 9 :- Left for NewYork in afternoon. Got checked in at Hotel and relaxed for an Hour and then went for sightseeing. Spent evening at Times Square and I must say it’s Most happening place at Broadway of NewYork. It was amazing evening & Night that day at times Square of NewYork. Took so many pics, did so much fun and went for shopping too. Ananyaa was enjoying herself dancing and singing and playing around. Must say NEWYORK – City which never sleeps.
Next day went for Madame Tussauds Museum, and then took Ananyaa for Toy’s r Us. Went for Empire State building and then in evening went for Mary Poppins Musical hit of Broadway. Ananyaa n Daddy enjoyed Mary Poppins, and she even sings songs from the show. Need to download for her. Whole day was busy for sightseeing of NewYork. But we missed 2 Historic Place which is Statue of liberty & World Trade Centre site. Hope I will go for it next time. NewYork is Amazing, most of the time we have seen it in movie only, but I guess I witnessed Beauty of city in Night when I was there.
Day 10 :- Time for us to pack bags and come back home. Which we were missing now. We left New York in morning and reached back to Edison NJ. There we waited to see my sister in lows parents as they were above to visit Bharatmama. When we were in India, we couldn’t meet them there, and now we are seeing each other over here in USA, will say world is so small. We had a good family time with them too. Shree’s sister Tejal and Dhwani are so nice to be. And tejal’s daughter is Sweetheart. Though it was too short,Ananyaa & Avishi really had a good time. Glad that we waited to see them.
And finally we left from US with lots of memories to cherish forever. I must say my Brother in low Shivang was great to be around. He is master in fixing any electronics gadget and iPhone and iPad is like toy to him by now. I gave him name Shivang – The Great. J. And thanks to Mama & Mami for everything they did. Thanks mami for showing how to make soft thepla. And that Manchurian & Mexican Pizza was so yummy. And how can I forget that Mango Matho. We really enjoyed lot with all of you.
I am still in hangover with those vacation days, we were in Edison NJ, Atlantic City & Jersey City & New York for 10 days and had beautiful bright sunny warm weather & had a nice family bonding time. it was quite an Eventful Trip and we are Happy Happy Happy Happy…
